She hesitated for a moment, frowned slightly and said, "But for such a long time, the castle has been explored by countless adventurers and mercenaries, but nothing unusual has been found.

Some bold rich people have bought it and spent a lot of money to repair it, intending to use it as a luxurious manor.

In order to eliminate the possible evil spirits, they also specially invited the priests of the Holy Light Church to conduct large-scale purification, sacrifice and exorcism ceremonies on the castle.

However, even so, the buyers of the castle eventually had to give up this place for various reasons, and the castle was abandoned again."

Jia Lan heard this and showed a surprised expression on his face: "It ended in nothing? Those rich people who bought the castle spent so much money to repair the castle, but they just abandoned it again?"

"That's why it's really weird there," Casey sighed, with a hint of helplessness in his eyes, "Those rich people who bought the castle either died unexpectedly, their families went bankrupt, or they encountered difficulties in their business and urgently needed to recover their funds, so they had to sell the castle."

"Therefore, the castle has more than a dozen nicknames, such as 'Ghost Castle', 'Ghost Castle', 'Doom Castle', 'Disaster Castle', and so on. It can be said that there are hundreds of versions of horror legends about it in [Kolan State], and each version is creepy."

Kathy shrugged and continued: "The ownership of the castle now belongs to the largest landlord in [Kolan City], 'Komo University'. However, even a powerful institution like 'Komo University' sent a large number of magicians to explore the castle, but they could not find any problems there. Over time, the castle was slowly abandoned there and became a taboo place in people's mouths."

Jia Lan hugged his arms, rubbed his chin, and fell into deep thought: "It sounds scary. Since the priests of the Holy Light Church have performed a sacrificial ceremony, it means that the castle should have nothing to do with undead creatures. The magician team can't find the reason, which means that it is not dark creatures and monsters. A large number of adventure teams and mercenary groups have also explored it, which rules out the possibility of wild beasts hiding in it... So, what secrets are hidden in this castle?"

There is no problem, but anyone who lives in it will encounter misfortune, which is really amazing, as if there is some unknown secret hidden there.

"Okay! Let's not consider this issue for the time being..." Jia Lan shook his head helplessly. He knew that in this world full of unknowns, many things were not easy for him to explain.

However, the castle called "Castle of Doom" made him covetous. "Ms. Casey, please keep an eye on the 'Castle of Doom' for me. If you can rent it from "Komo University" or simply buy it, please notify me."

Because he couldn't find a suitable venue, Jia Lan had to temporarily put aside the idea of building a complete laboratory. He knew that such opportunities did not come every day, but he also understood that he couldn't be impatient.

However, the temptation of the "Castle of Doom" was too great for him. There was a large enough area and a quiet enough environment for him to build a large laboratory that could meet all his ideas.

Jia Lan admitted that he was indeed a little anxious. But if he didn't set up a large laboratory now, he would definitely do it in the future.

In this world of arcane - oh no, now it's the world of magic, everything is much more expensive than ordinary people imagine. He needs a lot of funds to complete his ideas and goals, whether it is to reintegrate into this era or continue on the path of arcane.

To achieve these goals, he needs a lot of money. The amount of money is definitely an astronomical figure that is beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

He knows that relying on him to slowly prepare potions by hand to sell is far from meeting these needs. Therefore, he needs a large enough venue and a group of assistants to complete all this.

"Buy... Buy it?" When Jia Lan made this suggestion, Ms. Casey was obviously dumbfounded. She couldn't understand the thoughts of these magic masters. Do they think that Jintalan is made of copper dandin coated with gold powder?

In this Kolan City, a house of 60 square meters costs more than 15,000 Jintalan! And the "Doom Castle", although located in a remote and desolate suburb, is an abandoned castle, but the price will not be less than half.

Maybe because of those horror legends, the price can be discounted by one-third. But even so, a castle group of 100,000 square meters, plus the surrounding land, how many Jintalan would it take to buy it?

Casey calculated silently in his heart that the price would definitely not be less than 10 million gold talans! Otherwise, would the "Doom Castle" with such a huge area be abandoned there without anyone paying attention?

Mages, as one of the most calculating groups in the world, have amazing wisdom. However, despite their amazing acumen in the fields of magic and knowledge, they often appear quite dull in money management.

Most mages only consider money issues when experiments require funds, which is undoubtedly a manifestation of their unique personality.

Merchants are most willing to deal with mages. Because in their eyes, the money of mages is undoubtedly the easiest to make, because mages never care about the price.

When mages buy the items they need, they usually don't waste time bargaining. As long as the items meet their needs, they will buy them without hesitation. This characteristic undoubtedly brings huge business opportunities for merchants.

This can be seen from the development trajectory of the city of Kolan. Just because of the existence of a "Komo University", this originally unknown town has rapidly developed into a complete city. This phenomenon is common in both the era in which Jia Lan originally lived and the era in which he lives now.

Take Jia Lan as an example. Although he is in urgent need of money now, he will never haggle with the farmer named "Bit" for the difference of two silver coins.

In his opinion, it is more cost-effective to allocate a few more bottles of "Violet Cream" instead of wasting precious time on bargaining. Even if this means that the selling price of "Violet Cream" needs to be increased, he doesn't care. (Change the square brackets to quotation marks because this is the name of the item)

Therefore, no matter in which era, Jia Lan has no concept of money. In his eyes, there is only a difference between need and need. If necessary, as long as it does not exceed his acceptance range, he will not consider the price at all.

Of course, this does not mean that mages are fat sheep that are slaughtered by merchants. In fact, most mages are indeed not suitable to be merchants, but this does not mean that they have no resistance to money.

They simply prefer to devote their energy to the magic and knowledge research they love rather than tedious business transactions.
